Comments on: No New Pictures = More Traffic? http://www.dcrblogs.com/2010/04/22/no-new-pictures-more-traffic/ Motivating readers to believe, act, and achieve by looking at life with wit, wisdom, and engaging creativity Mon, 21 May 2012 18:41:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Will http://www.dcrblogs.com/2010/04/22/no-new-pictures-more-traffic/#comment-30606 Will Sat, 24 Apr 2010 16:43:53 +0000 http://www.dcrblogs.com/?p=2996#comment-30606 You are correct about the content, but I can't think of why a lack of images would matter. Assuming the same content, just with images included, I would think that would be better. Odd. Traffic is a funny thing. It really does seem to be related to links. The more backlinks you have, the more Google likes you and the more traffic you get. Certain posts can go crazy too and that increases my traffic for a while. If I look at my stats, I see occasional days and weeks that spike to thousands or tens of thousands of visits. But if I look at long term averages, it has been the same for the past few years, 500 to 700 per day. You are correct about the content, but I can’t think of why a lack of images would matter.

People aren't able to write well enough to captivate an audience more than a line or two. You write well that's why you get away with it. Reading many of your posts is more like reading a good story. Most blogs read like an instruction manual for a microwave. Most blogs really can’t get away with images. People aren’t able to write well enough to captivate an audience more than a line or two.
